With the advance of society, more and more people and afford a car. As the number of the use of cars is still increasing, we are forced to face some problems. Such as the air pollution and the increasing pressure on trafic and. The prior attract wide attention in the country and the whole world. To solve this problem, govenment agencies in some big cities recently suggest that a "pollution tax" should be put on private car in order to control the number of cars and reduce the pollution in cities. For my part, I agree with this viewpoint. My reasons are as follows: To begin with, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, a lot of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is the responsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose of collecting environmental pollution tax is to raise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue lever to protect our environment. 　　 Secondly, it is a good way to raise people’s environmental awareness by putting a pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss when making a decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they will consider more when deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the private cars can be controlled. 　　 In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private car owners, should try their best to protect the environment.
